The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180 Silva Group Shareholders' Meeting
Harvey's heart dropped at the news of Vera calling a shareholders' meeting for the Silva Group.

He understood her intentions all too well.

Years prior, when Sharon was alive, she had allocated 60 percent of Silva Group's shares to Vera and her brother, Nolan Silva, while both she and Harvey each retained five percent.

The remaining 30 percent was divided among other shareholders.

With Nolan and his wife's tragic car accident last year, Vera was now entitled to his shares per Sharon's will, meaning she held nearly 30 percent of the company's total shares.

In the aftermath of Nolan's death, Harvey and Quincy had cleverly turned the situation to their advantage.

While Vera was still mourning, they manipulated her into signing documents that transferred Nolan's shares to Quincy's son, Franklin.

Vera, having never been involved in the group's activities, remained blissfully unaware of their deception.

But Vera's sudden decision to hold a meeting was making it increasingly challenging for them to keep their actions hidden.

Quincy erupted into laughter, fluffing her messy hair.

"You? Who do you think you are to call a shareholders' meeting for the Silva Group? Hahaha ... "

Vera let out a sharp breath. "My brother is gone, and I now hold almost 60 percent of the shares. As the largest shareholder, I absolutely have the right to convene a meeting!

"With the 30 percent Nolan left, I wield complete control over Silva Group. Do you really believe I'm unqualified?"

Quincy hesitated for a moment before snapping back, "Your brother and sister-in-law gave their shares to Franklin before the accident! What do you think you can do with your small stake?"

Vera scoffed. "I've known for a long time that you swindled Nolan out of his shares. Even if that's true, I'm still a major shareholder and can call an emergency meeting!

"You don't need to show up; if you're not here, you'll have no say in any decisions made regarding Silva Group.

"The meeting will commence at 2:00 PM sharp. It's your choice whether to attend or not!"

As Vera opened her Porsche door, pieces of the car fell to the ground.

"Oh, no. This car is wrecked!" she exclaimed, pulling Robin away from the crowd.

Quincy sneered, "Haha, you think a Silva Group shareholders' meeting will let you take over the Silva Group? Dream on!"

Harvey watched Vera and Robin walk away, unease settling in.

At 2:00 PM, in the conference hall on the 28th floor of the Silva Group building, Quincy, Harvey, and several shareholders were already present.

"Where's Franklin? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Quincy asked Emily, glancing at the clock.

Emily called Franklin and his bodyguard once more, but still got no response.

"Ms. Lowe, Mr. Franklin and his group aren't answering their phones. We haven't reached them."

Quincy frowned. "What's going on with that kid? I spoke to him this morning, reminding him he needed to be here for the meeting.

"Emily, keep trying to contact Franklin. Also, send someone to check his usual spots. Maybe he's out having fun and just didn't hear his phone."

"Understood, Ms. Lowe." Emily hurried out of the conference room.

Harvey sighed. "That kid is so irresponsible! He's off wasting time when he should be getting ready to lead the Silva Group!"

Quincy poked him playfully. "What are you talking about? Franklin is young; he just likes to enjoy life.

"Once he matures, he'll be fine.

"You shouldn't criticize him; you were much worse at his age."

Harvey glanced toward the entrance and whispered, "That's not the point. If Franklin doesn't show up, we'll be at a disadvantage in the meeting. He holds 30 percent of the shares."

Quincy scanned the room, confident as she spoke, "Harvey, get a grip! The shares we both hold, along with those of these minor shareholders, exceed what that b*tch possesses.

"It doesn't matter if Franklin comes or not! Half of these shareholders are my relatives, and a few are close to you. They were all founding members of the company.

"That b*tch, Vera, has never attended a shareholders' or board meeting. Even with her 28 percent, so what? The veteran shareholders won't back her!"

Harvey sighed. "Can you stop calling her a b*tch? Vera is still my daughter."

Quincy frowned. "Harvey, are you thinking about Sharon again? Don't forget, you're the one who—"

Harvey quickly pulled Quincy back, whispering fiercely, "Do you want to get us both in trouble? What are you saying?"

Quincy immediately fell silent, realizing she had overstepped.

Vera entered the conference room with determination, her gaze sweeping across the space before she strode directly to the seat designated for the major shareholder.

Her voice sliced through the silence like a knife. "You two, get out of that chair! It rightfully belongs to the major shareholder, and you don't have the authority to sit here!"

The atmosphere in the room shifted abruptly, falling silent.

All the shareholders of the Silva Group turned their attention to Vera, Harvey, and Quincy.
